Machine Learning in ProOrder ProRealTime

juanj · Sun, 06 Aug 2017 18:29:04 +0000

I would like to start a discussion around the possibilities of making use of machine learning in ProRealTime. I have personally experimented with some heuristics algorithms in ProOrder but find it very limiting when having to optimize more than one variable. Here is an snippet of the code I use to optimize an variable called periods (i.e. Average[periods]): // Heuristics Algorithm once Periods = 42 //Variable to be optimized once Optimize = 0 once Mode = 1 //switches between + and - increments once Increment = 1 //initial increment value once StratAvgB = 0 If Optimize = 10 Then //value is incremented by 1 at position entry or exit WinCount = 0 //Value used to determine minimum number of winning trades StratAvgA = StratAvgB StratAvgB = 0 For i = 1 to 10 Do //number of repittions to run past performance analysis If positionperf(i) > 0 Then WinCount = WinCount + 1 EndIF StratAvgB = StratAvgB + StrategyProfit[i] Next StratAvgB = StratAvgB/10 If (WinCount < 5 or StratAvgA > StratAvgB) and Mode = 1 Then Periods = Periods + (Increment+2) ElsIf (Winloss < 5 or StratAvgA > StratAvgB) and Mode = 2 Then Periods = Periods - (Increment*2) - 1 mode = 1 If Increment > 5 Then Periods = 42 //goes back to default value Increment = 1 //increment is reset Else Increment = Increment + 1 EndIF EndIF mode = 2 Optimize = 0 EndIf Please share your own experience. @Wing @Nicolas I know you said you have also experimented with this, would you mind to share?

1. Moreover generally the parameter where the best we obtain with a backtest and changing the valuex will result in choosing a worst combinaison of values
2. And to conclude determining that a valuex of 12 the 4 april doesn’t mean it will be the best value for the 12 april for example

Surely you have sort of answered your own question 1 with the bold text in question 2?

It may be that the System you are experimenting with has variable values (arrived at via normal optimisation / WF etc) that are at their best ever value?

If the Heuristics are used in a System where a variable optimum value can changes every day or so (like the Renkos we have been using on this Topic) then the Heurisitic on the fly optimisation can improve results.

Also important to note that each discovery session is determined by ‘MaxIncrement’ (number of increments to try). After this the strategy then tests the newly discovered best values for a number of trades as defined by ‘Reps’. It then compares the results to the previous discovery session and overall best values to see whether progress was made.

Unfortunately determining true market cycles is extremely challenging and for now the heuristics (i.e. discovery through ‘trial and error’) is my best shot at dynamic optimization.

It’s like a forward test in live, right ? But with the risk it getting worst with losing trades with the new values ?

@juanj a while back we discussed about the importance of MFA/MAE ratio.

If you had a stoploss of 500points and a target of 50 points, takes the current way of calculation parameters into account that if the trade goes -450 before it reached 50 points it wasn’t very good entry or does it see as a positive trade and parameters which could be used again?

@Bard

“Unfortunately SET STOP PTRAILING does not use tick by tick data and so gives false results.” That’s a bunch of time wasted. Knew there was something off but not exactly what.

Atleast v4 ts had this covered. I thought the order would be rejected, but as it stands it was accepted today and having good results.

An other idea came to mind.

instead of use ML for parameters, what about using the optimistation results and group the first 10 rows with parameters.

Then ML can take out of those 10 row which set of parameters will be the best. Especially on a short timeframe (1s-10s), a few days later again optimisation can be made and the best set of parameters added to the first group, so you buildup data for ML which covers more market scenarios.

Baloney or interesting?

To continue, because it’s an intersting topic (Thanks @juanj and all contributors), I made a test

I use a very simple code

// Définition des paramètres du code
DEFPARAM CumulateOrders = False // Cumul des positions désactivé

// Conditions pour ouvrir une position acheteuse
indicator1 = ExponentialAverage[a](close)
indicator2 = ExponentialAverage[b](close)
c1 = (indicator1 CROSSES OVER indicator2)
indicator3 = WilderAverage[c](close)
c2 = (close > indicator3)

IF c1 AND c2 THEN
BUY 1 SHARES AT MARKET
ENDIF

// Conditions pour ouvrir une position en vente à découvert
indicator4 = ExponentialAverage[a](close)
indicator5 = ExponentialAverage[b](close)
c3 = (indicator4 CROSSES UNDER indicator5)
indicator6 = WilderAverage[c](close)
c4 = (close < indicator6)

IF c3 AND c4 THEN
SELLSHORT 1 SHARES AT MARKET
ENDIF

// Stops et objectifs
SET TARGET pPROFIT d
SET STOP pLOSS 2*d

// Définition des paramètres du code

DEFPARAM CumulateOrders = False // Cumul des positions désactivé

// Conditions pour ouvrir une position acheteuse

indicator1 = ExponentialAverage[a](close)

indicator2 = ExponentialAverage[b](close)

c1 = (indicator1 CROSSES OVER indicator2)

indicator3 = WilderAverage[c](close)

c2 = (close > indicator3)

IF c1 AND c2 THEN

BUY 1 SHARES AT MARKET

ENDIF

// Conditions pour ouvrir une position en vente à découvert

indicator4 = ExponentialAverage[a](close)

indicator5 = ExponentialAverage[b](close)

c3 = (indicator4 CROSSES UNDER indicator5)

indicator6 = WilderAverage[c](close)

c4 = (close < indicator6)

IF c3 AND c4 THEN

SELLSHORT 1 SHARES AT MARKET

And I compare the results on 2 graph. But sadly the results are worst with the learning machine

Can you test too with this procedure (I think it’s good) on another simple code: Backtest to determine the “best” values to put in starting values and compare

May be it’s the code or me 🙂 but it’s strange the results are worst

For playing I do a new backtest with the Learing machine to optimize c and d

Results are better but without regularity (It remember me when I made tests on pyramid trading there some years)

Baloney or interesting?

Paul that is interesting / good blue sky thinking!

If we are persevering with Renko, do we need to try and start the count for box size at the lowest low for x bars or highest high for x bars etc?

If the renko starts counting for box size near the top of a good run up and as the renko strategy allows for a count of 2 x box size before it goes Long … then we may be right near the highest high for x bars and bang we have gone long and just around the corner is a fib retrace coming along.

If we start counting near the lowest low for a Long then we are in with a fighting chance of going into early profit rather than early loss?

Given the limitations of Renko, we could try the ML on the good old Vectorial … I reckon still a good strategy and coming back into fashion now the madness / high volatility seems over for a while?

Renko was great when the ups and downs were long and frequent, but markets have quietened loads in the last 2 weeks?

Just a few thoughts anyway.

@GraHal Well both are interesting! With renko what you said about fib.retracement is spot on. Still it’s too early to give up on renko, especially with two boxsizes!

But I say, there’s a difference when to trade the dji. Focus on 8-15(30) to take trades and close at 17.30 or 18. Trading renko when the market is open, results go down. I’am still experimenting but that’s what it looks to me and you have stability with the spread. Also reducing the stoploss is key.

I’ve been running vectorial, optimised for 5s timeframe! Nice backtest, not so nice results live though. 🙂 Not even with ML included!

Probably I will give my idea from above a shot. Gathering parameters from optimisation results, group them and then use ML.

Cheers for the pointer, I knew those equity curves “on tbt” sometimes looked very improbable! I was actually thinking of experimenting with non ML Kase Dev Stops (posted earlier) or Kaufman’s Volatility Stops. This is totally needed now. Might even be worth setting the ML algo on them too (for a Renko ML2 boxsize and stop loss std deviation amount before the stop licks in or lookback period). I will post if I find anything that reliably improves profitability. I think Paul’s v4 Trailing Stop (TS) might offer a solution. I’m going to look at that version later.

With the myriad of opportunities for testing and not enough hours in the day, might be best to really hone in and use the most efficient and predictive indicators/chart patterns and ML those.
Still working on applying ML2 to Renko Boxsizes and the Take Profit amount… with soon to be added different stop losses, ha ha.

Not sure yet if it’s best to keep it very simple with just a singe ML system or better to have two ML’s. Still working on that too.

At least v4 ts had this covered.

Paul this is next on my to do list, after clarifying if it’s better to have just an ML1 or an ML2 on the Ehler’s Oscillator, and on Renko’s.
Is the current definition of the Renko that we’ve been using the best definition or did you get better results with a switch between the 3 different types?

How trend dependent is the success of a Renko system if it still makes money in flat markets? Did you see that the Renko system still made profits in flat markets, I showed you how it made money in a flat period for the Dow in Nov 2016 (before the US election). The trailing stop was largish at 100 so the results are not to be totally dismissed like they should be if the stop is 10 ticks, now that we know the trailing stop doesn’t work with tbt testing. I actually can’t wait to open PRT and see how the Kase Dev Stop and Kaufman Volatility Stop fair.

Maybe Finning’s idea of an ATR related boxsize would work too? If somebody could get my code to work!? https://www.prorealcode.com/topic/machine-learning-in-proorder/page/19/#post-128100

Also note that to set starting values to the algorithm all the commented out code which have a ‘once’ as well as a ‘Graph’ command on the line directly below it has to be activated. i.e. once BestA = 300 etc.

I used it to graph and then set the final values generated by the algorithm as the starting values when using the strategy on a live system

Thanks Grahal,

I made the correction (as the rep was the same the results was the same)

And I compare your version on page 3, Paul version on pp 20 and Brad version on pp 22 and the results with the same value (4;30) and same code are quite different …
